Ever wonder what life in a public library is REALLY like? Try reading Free for All: Oddballs, Geeks, Gangstas in the Public Library by Don Borchert. Borchert works in a public library in southern California and offers a fresh perspective on the sometimes funny, sometimes poignant life that is the public library. With many anecdotes Borchert shows that a library is not just a collection of materials but it is the people who come to use all of its resources and the staff who work so hard behind the scenes to make it possible.

I usually dont go into blogs on the internet, because, well, it's the internet. What good can come of it? But this must be alright - its the library. I'll be alright here.
Thanks for the positive review. I appreciate it.

For those into reading about libraries, another current book is "Quiet, Please : Dispatches from a Public Librarian" by Scott Douglas. Entertaining reading about life in the library.
